PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS TO TIE CHANGE
To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
Your paper yesterday contained an article which
almost proved that trowsers are doomed, and that
short clothes viii come IN again. Much has been
said on this subject but the utintarian view Is the
one which will prevail have thoroughly tested
the small clothes during several years wear, and
think can safely predict that they viii stay Just
where they are-on the legs OF athletes and a few
pedestrians, and simply because they belong there
and no where else. On the bicycle trowsers flap
and blow into the SpokeS when there Is much
wind They draw ever the knees a little also
ball, tennis. &c.
Short brooches necessitate the use OF long and
rather heavy stockings. Every wearer OF them
knows that IL VIII never do in their stead TO wear

OF the Dead Letter Office examined, It Is still
more surprising to learn that 80 per cent OF the
letterS OF this character which are received eacn
day and corrected are delivered to the persons
addressed.
SOLD FOB WASTE PAPER.
When letters contain no Enclosures, either Of
money or merchandise, and every method has been
exhausted for returning them either to the writer
or the person addressed, they are bundled together
600 letters and parcels which are disposed OF each
year In this way and the revenue derived from
the sale is turned into the Treasury togetherwith
the money received in letters for which no owner
can be found. Last year there was nearly $1,000
deposited IN the Treasury on this account.

pOrtation OF matter other than letters. In this
collection, which preserves only the most notable
objects, may be found boots, shoes, coats, Shaws,
bedquts, hoop skirts, rattlesnakes, horned tOads,
gloves lace collars, photographs. 1ewelry, false
retained for two years, and then If not called for
are sold at public auction. The sale last year
realized over $1,000. The system Of keeping such
sty OF being able TO produce any article called for
in the mass OF stuff accumulated, involves a very

can be no more orderly place. For every day an
inquiry comes for some portion of the contents,
and the keeper OF the crypt is able to lay his
hands instantly on any package, however small,
the moment there is a cali for 1t.
The yearly increase In the amount Of matter
handled by the Dead Letter Office, which, while
comparatively small, is nevertheless constant,
might leadto the conclusion that the American
people were yearly becoming more careless. For
after all careleSSneS is the cause OF large proper

was little over ve per cent, but this increase is
not nearly propOrtiOned to that of the volume of
matter committed to the mails. Last year the in

may be concluded that while the dead letter mat

The kind OF weather which has prevailed re-
Gently is not the style which suits architects and
builders, nor even real estate men 1t seems that
people don't care to think about building, much
less talk about it when cold winds are bowling
about and the air Is full of snow. The average
man, with money in his pocket which he wants to
invest, is said to prefer to think about
something more seasonable. As for the
real estate men, they ask in dis
pairing tones, now they can have the face to
take perspective customer out to look at ground
which is still locked in the icy embrace of winter
The majority with whom STAR reporter talked
were free to admit that they did not have the
cheek equal to the performance Of such a task and
in consequence business languiShed and Office
missions to alleviate the misery OF the situation
1t seems to be probable that the parties above
mentioned will rise in revolt against the weather If
1t does not change its present policy, and as Gen
Greedy and his Office on street, are generally
held to be responsible for the conduct OF the
weather. itmay be that an angry mob OF architects,

markably active, and that this activity has con-
tinued all winter to an extent that is, perhaps,
not equalled by any former year. However the
architects and builders and the real estate men
are anxious for the opening OF the spring season,
which they are confident will be q very busy one
for each and all OF them and this trit1ing on the
part of the weather. this long lingering OF winter
in the lap Of spring, meets with their unqualified
condemnation.
WANTING MUCH FOR LITTLE MONEY.
When an architect is not thinking about the
weather he can tell some interesting stories about
the people who come to talk Of building houses.

County Treasurer Hague worked
all of yesterday until midnight, and
up to noon to-day, on the county
bonds and oupons-countersigning

The bonds and coupons are now
"worth their face" to the holders.
That is, they represent SO much cash.
They will leave this evening by ex-
press, consigned 70 the Crocker Wool
worth National Bank, which is the
San Francisco correspondent of Nc
Cornick & Co., Of HALEY, and u
hours hence the cash will probably be
paid for them.
The first issue, taken by holders Of
warrants some mouths ago, was Of
$4,000. This second issue Is of
100000. There are but l02 bonds,
of $1,000 each, left for sale, and these
will doubtless soon be taken, now tina .
the securities have at last found favor
with investors abroad.

THE MERCHANTS RESTAURANT.
Allen Brothers In Charge-EXcellent
Meals and FaultleSs Service.


Allen Brothers, who have so sue
cessfully conducted the Elite Restau-
rant for the past three months, have
taken charge of the dining room of
the Merchants Hotel, and will give it
their personal care and attention. 1T
goes without saying that the best of
meals will be the order there, and
that nowhere on the Pacific slope
will the travelling public find better
service. The Elite is to be closed,
or rather changed to an oyster parlor,
and its large city patronage will 60 to
the elegant new house, where there is
every appliance and convenience for
putting up the most inviting break
fasts and elaborate dinners. Choice
lunches will be served in the middle
of the day. The Allen brothers have
paid strict attention to business and
made earnest efforts to please the
public since they came to HALEY, and
will pursue the same course i'll their
new quarters. Only the best cooks
and most attentive walters will be
employed by them, and of course
everything that the markets afford
will be at the command Of their pat

DR.. Leonard, who recently had a
lengthy conversation with one of the
managers Of the Manitoba Railroad,
says that we can induce the road to
come to Wood River and pass on to
connection with the Oregon Pacific
at Boise, by little effort on the part
of our business men. All that is
necessary is for meetings to be held
to appoint a committee to prepare a
report on the present and prospective
output Of our mines, the probable
business, etc, and then forward it to
the headquarters Of the road.
The Manitoba is completed to Hell
ena, and will reach Butte this winter.
Its route thence is undetermined. If
the people of Wood River move at
once in the matter, they can have it
cross the mountains near Salmon City,
and reach Wood River via the Red
Fish Lakes and Galena; thence to
Ketchum, HALEY, Camas Prairie, and
on to Boise.
But immediate action is necessary.
For instance, a preliminary meeting
to obtain an expression of opinion
should be held not later than next
Monday evening.
